Amelia Estrella’s life is a never-ending cycle of moving, her family fleeing every two months from an unknown fear. When they settle into a run-down house next to The Windy Hallow, a haunted mansion with a dark past, Amelia and her friends, Rena and Tom, decide to explore.
Inside, they uncover a horrific family secret: a monster of a father, Victor, who killed his entire family after a fortune cursed by greed. As they are thrust into the past, the friends realize that Amelia’s family is tied to the curse—and the only way to break it is to destroy Victor. But to do so, they must find a silver blade hidden deep within the mansion, guarded by unimaginable horrors.
With time and reality bending around them, they must face Victor’s monstrous wrath and the deadly legacy of greed. The Windy Hallow holds its secrets tightly, and only by confronting the past can they hope to survive. Will they break the curse, or will the mansion claim them as its next victims?
A guttural growl echoed through the basement, and my blood turned to ice.

A shadow moved in the corner, large and hulking. Then came the sound of heavy footsteps, slow and deliberate, as if something - or someone - was stalking us. The figure stepped into the light, and I felt my stomach drop.
It was a man - or what used to be a man. His skin was gray and stretched tight over his bones, his eyes sunken and glowing with an unnatural light. His mouth twisted into a grotesque grin, revealing sharp, yellowed teeth.
"You shouldn't be here," he growled, his voice echoing like thunder.
